Sun Tzu The Art of War -- Many versions are available. Do not
get one that’s something like The Art of War for … (Managers,
Leadership, Sales, whatever). Get a basic version – there’s a
couple on-line. My favorite version is in-print, translated by
Thomas Cleary, published by Shambhala, ISBN: 1590302257. Barnes
& Noble usually has a discount copy in their sale area. We read
this to remind us: a) many of our new management “discoveries” are
not new at all and b) sources/inspirations for change may be found
in the past as well as the future.
II. Tom Peters The Little Big Things: 163 Ways to Pursue
Excellence New York: Harper Collins, 2010 (ISBN: 9780061894084) –
This book reinforces for us: a) management had better change or the
organization is doomed, b) the environment requires new levels of
fluidity in organization and leadership, both overlooked by many
managers (who sentence themselves and their organizations to be
doomed), and c) change isn’t just the big stuff.
III. Robert Heller & Tom Hindle DK Essential Managers:
Managing Change New York: DK Adult, 1999 (ISBN: 9780789428974) –
This is a nice little book (72 pp) that

efficiently lays out many of the essentials of change management
at a great price. You may want to consider an alternative. Managing
Change is a chapter in a larger book by the same authors, Robert
Heller & Tim Hindle Essential Manager’s Manual New York: DK
Adult, 1998 (ISBN: 9780789435194). I don’t think Essential
Manager’s Manual is available electronically.
All three books are available electronically. Recommended Books:
A few books you may want to consider for your professional
library:
Scott Anthony The Little Black Book of Innovation: How I t
Works, How To Do I t Boston: Harvard Business Review Press, 2012
(ISBN: 9781422171721). An excellent overview on innovating.
Alexander Hiam Business Innovation for Dummies Hoboken, New Jersey
2010 (ISBN: 9780470601747). For the price, my pick as the best
how-to book on the subject. Robert Heller & Tim Hindle
Essential Manager’s Manual New York: DK, 1998 (ISBN: 0789435195).
Good reference material. Moi Ali, et al. Successful Manager’s

two book reviews from: Sun Tzu, Peters, and the book list at the
end of the syllabus. ** If you received a grade of 3 (of 5) or
lower (including zero [0] for a miss) on any ONE discussion or
activity, you may complete the one discussion or activity for a
maximum of 4 points.
Attendance: Participants are expected to attend all class
sessions and to be on time. Participants are permitted one
professional-related absence with prior approval or one
health-related absence. Documentation may be required. Each
additional absence will require a make-up assignment or result in
the loss of 10 % of the final grade. The make-up is usually an
additional book review. Participation: Each participant is expected
to be engaged in all discussions. Magnitude of participation does
not imply quality. However, the two indicators are often correlated
positively. We expect that participants are well prepared and share
insightful comments, criticism, and perspectives with the
class.

of 35 Language Biases: All participants are expected to employ non
biased speech and prose--gender, race, and other. At times we will
make mistakes and say or write in a manner which may cause offense.
We will help each other to remove biases and offensive aspects from
our speech and prose. Working Together: Participants are encouraged
to cooperate--share ideas, resources, and insights. Make certain a
final product reflects your efforts, but help each other out.
Learning, like almost everything, is more fun when it is a shared
experience. Writing: Written communication is highly important in
U.S. society. Therefore, each participant is expected to employ all
conventions of good English composition, including, but not limited
to: grammar, spelling, punctuation, format, and referencing. NOTE:
Thirty (30) percent of the total grade of any written submission is
based on composition.
SPECIAL NOTE: Any communication containing, “pubic admin*”
rather than “public admin*” or “manger” rather than “manager” will
receive a failing grade. The bottom-line – don’t rely on spell
check alone – proofread carefully! ! !
Plagiarism: In event that the professor suspects a case of
plagiarism, UTEP guidelines will be followed. The suspected
offending materials will be turned over to the appropriate
University officer(s). Penalties for plagiarism may be severe
including a zero (0) on the assignment among others. If one has any
questions regarding what constitutes plagiarism, what needs to be
referenced, and/or how to cite materials he/she should
-
Organizational Change, Fall, 2017 – Block 2, McDonald; page 13
of 35 contact the instructor. A discussion of plagiarism is further
detailed in the following policy statement regarding academic
dishonesty. Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism:
The following is official university policy. Please read it
carefully and take special note regarding academic dishonesty
(inclusive of plagiarism).
Academic Dishonesty at UTEP
It is the official policy of the university that all suspected
cases or acts of alleged scholastic dishonesty must be referred to
the Dean of Students for investigation and appropriate disposition.
Any student who commits an act of scholastic dishonesty is subject
to discipline. Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited
to cheating, plagiarism, collusion, the submission for credit of
any work or materials that are attributable in whole or in part to
another person, taking an examination for another person, any act
designed to give unfair advantage to a student or the attempt to
commit such acts.
A. “Cheating” includes:
1. Copying from the test paper of another student, engaging in
written, oral, or any other means of communication with another
student during a test, or giving aid to or seeking aid from another
student during a test;
2. possession and/or use during a test of materials which are
not authorized by the person giving the test, such as class notes,
books, or specifically designed “crib notes”;
3. using, obtaining, or attempting to obtain by any means the
whole or any part of non-administered test, test key, homework
solution, or computer program; using a test that has been
administered in prior classes or semesters but which will be used
again either in whole or in part without permission of the
instructor; or accessing a test bank without instructor
permission;
4. collaborating with or seeking aid from another student for an
assignment without authority;
5. substituting for another person, or permitting another person
to substitute for one's self, to take a test; and
6. falsifying research data, laboratory reports, and/or other
records or academic work offered for credit;
-
Organizational Change, Fall, 2017 – Block 2, McDonald; page 14
of 35
B. “Plagiarism” means the appropriation, buying, receiving as a
gift, or obtaining by any means another's work and the
unacknowledged submission or incorporation of it in one's own
academic work offered for credit, or using work in a paper or
assignment for which the student had received credit in another
course without direct permission of all involved instructors;
C. “Collusion” means the unauthorized collaboration with another
person in preparing academic assignments offered for credit or
collaboration with another person to commit a violation of any
provision of the rules on scholastic dishonesty.
Taking Precautions
What can you do to avoid being charged with academic
dishonesty?
Avoid procrastination Get to know your professors as well as
their expectations regarding
collaboration and citation Find a tutor to help with difficult
classes Physically distance yourself from others when taking exams
Do not loan completed assignments to other students Refuse to help
students who cheat Use a handbook as a reference for how to
appropriately cite
sources Become familiar with the UTEP policies and procedures
related to
academic dishonesty
Source: http://academics.utep.edu/Default.aspx?tabid=23785
accessed 29 October 2009.
Class participants are strongly encouraged to review the
materials at http://www.plagiarism.org/.
The professor will recommend a course grade of “F” in cases of
plagiarism.
If one has any questions regarding what needs to be referenced,
contact the instructor.
Academic Honesty Statement: All participants must print, sign
and submit the Academic Honor Statement (AHS) (Appendix 2) on or
before the second class
http://academics.utep.edu/Default.aspx?tabid=23785http://www.plagiarism.org/
-
Organizational Change, Fall, 2017 – Block 2, McDonald; page 15
of 35 meeting. An AHS submitted on or before this date earns 5
points, one submitted after this date receives zero (0) points. No
assignment will be assessed without submission an AHS. Incompletes:
Incompletes are rarely granted. Possible reasons for granting an
incomplete may include: serious personal illness requiring
long-term bed rest or hospitalization, a radical shift in familial
care giving responsibilities, or extraordinary professional
circumstances. Incompletes will only be granted for extraordinary,
unforeseen, extreme situations. In cases where an incomplete is
granted, the participant must present the instructor with a
proposed contract for completing the course in the shortest time
reasonable. The instructor may require amendment of the contract.
APA: All written assignments will be in APA format. Book Reviews:
Each participant is reviewing and analyzing the contents of two
books with a focus principally on creativity and innovation with
secondary foci on leadership, and management. Our book reviews will
reflect these foci. We will submit our reviews in two ways: On the
appropriate discussion board, e.g. Unit 1, Unit 2, or Unit
3; and To the appropriate assignment drop box, e.g. Unit 1, Unit
2, or
Unit 3. We will be sharing each of our reviews with other
members of the class. At the end of this class each participant
will have a large
-
Organizational Change, Fall, 2017 – Block 2, McDonald; page 16
of 35 number of reviews in hand, a sort of CLIFF’S NOTES or
greatest hits of the literature on innovation and problem solving.
Effective book reviews strike a balance between detail and brevity.
We will produce these as five pages or less (not including the
title page), APA format, double-spaced, one-inch margins, Tahoma,
12 point type. Please number each page. This would translate to a
little over two pages in a journal/book, usually about the right
length for a review. The title page will include the following,
justified as displayed below:
TITLE Author
Place Published Publisher
Date Published ISBN
Keywords/phrases
Reviewed by: name
Date E-mail
MLS 5326 Fall, 2017
Each review will contain three to seven keywords regarding the
relevant matter in the book and/or the relevance of the material. A
brief note on keywords. A keyword is a word or very brief phrase
that provides a potential reader with insight into a key subject
matter(s) covered. Keywording may be as much art as science – too
broad and a keyword lacks value; too narrow and a keyword may be
too context specific. A couple of keywords that are too broad for
our purposes: leadership and innovation. Some that are too narrow:
starvation and six hats. Some that might be about right: leading in
crisis, small group innovation models, leading in diversity, and
thinking models. With a
-
Organizational Change, Fall, 2017 – Block 2, McDonald; page 17
of 35 little practice, keywording is and effective tool for
organizing large volumes of information. Each review will contain
the following sections:
Summary
Context
Key Issues/Lessons
Value (For whom or where might this book be of value)
Strengths
Weaknesses
Other Information
Summary
Recommendation(s)
-
Organizational Change, Fall, 2017 – Block 2, McDonald; page 18
of 35
1. Keywords The 5 to 10 words/terms/phrases that most accurately
capture the foci/themes of the book; e.g. for Art of War, we might
opt for planning, execution, ecological factors, among others.
(1%*)
2. Summary A brief overview of what the book covers. This will
be painted broadly with detail only as you think it’s important for
our audience to have. This may be the least important portion of
the review as it contains the info that a reader might find in any
number of sources. No blah, blah, blah ! ! ! (5%)
3. Context Background, what do we know re the author, the
approach, or other relevant information? (4%)
4. Key Issues/ Lessons
What are the most important things we should get out of this
book? Unlike the summary, here the author focuses only on the most
important points and goes at these in a bit more detail. This is a
key part of any good review. Most importantly, what lessons apply
to change, innovation, and/ or leadership? (25%)
5. Value The reviewer will interpret who is (are) the key
audience(s) for this book, and what particular value the book may
have to them or others, especially with regard to change,
innovation, and/or leadership. (25%)
6. Strengths We spring off of value and set forth the particular
strengths of the book. If space permits, it’s a good idea to
provide a little detail re each strength. (10%)
7. Weaknesses All work has some weakness or shortcoming. This
discussion might be very brief or significant, but it is important
what we note we were alert to weaknesses and we detail any we
find/sense. (Please do not fall victim to straw man.) (10%)
8. Other Information
Usually there’s some important information not captured in the
above sections – place it here. (5%)
9. Recom-mendation(s)
This is particularly important – the author puts his/her
reputation on the line in that he/she sums up the strengths and
weaknesses, pros and cons and makes one or more recommendations to
readers. Recommendations may be general or to a specific audience.
Our recommendations ought to include some general statements and
some specific to our peers in this course. This section may be a
bit redundant with value, strengths, and weaknesses – but in this
section we pull it together. (15%)
* The percentages are based on prior successful reviews and are
not ironclad. They are intended as general guidelines.

of 35 Selecting Books for Review Each class participant will review
two books from the following list. Five rules govern selection of
books:
A) First come – first served. Steve is serving as keeper of the
official review list – make certain you inform Steve of your
selections immediately.
B) One reviewer per book. C) Each book has a point value – any
participant’s books must
total four (4) or more points. D) Each participant must select
books from two units. The books
fall into three categories
o G3 of Innovation (Great Guys/Gals) of Innovation
o Tools/Approaches to Innovation/Problem Solving
o Managing, Leading, Oops, and Other Good Stuff re Innovation
and Problem Solving
E) If a book is being used in another course – it can’t be used
for
this course.
We will be doing reviews and presentations at the times
indicated in the syllabus.

Appendix 2: Honor Statement
MLS 5326 Honor Statement
Integrity is fundamental to the public sector. This course has a
zero tolerance rule regarding scholastic dishonesty. Any student
found guilty of scholastic dishonesty will have the offending
material(s) submitted to the appropriate UTEP authorities.
The graduate catalog states:
The University of Texas at El Paso prides itself on its
standards of academic excellence. In all matters of intellectual
pursuit, UTEP faculty and students must strive to achieve
excellence based on the quality of work produced by the individual.
In the classroom and in all other academic activities, students are
expected to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity. Any
form of scholastic dishonesty is an affront to the pursuit of
knowledge and jeopardizes the quality of the degree awarded to all
graduates of UTEP. It is imperative, therefore, that the members of
this academic community understand the regulations pertaining to
academic integrity and that all faculty insist on adherence to
these standards.
Any student who commits an act of scholastic dishonesty is
subject to discipline. Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not
limited to, cheating, plagiarism, collusion, the submission for
credit of any work or materials that are attributable in whole or
in part to another person, taking an examination for another
person, and any act designed to give unfair advantage to a student
or the attempt to commit such acts. Proven violations of the
detailed regulations, as printed in the Handbook of Operating
Procedures (HOP) and available in the Office of the Dean of
Students and the homepage of The Dean of Students at
www.utep.edu/dos, may result in sanctions ranging from disciplinary
probation, to failing a grade on the work in question, to a failing
grade in the course, to suspension or dismissal, among others.
All course participants are expected to be thoroughly familiar
with plagiarism and how to avoid it. Each participant is expected
to thoroughly review the material presented at Plagiarism.org

Consider…
The mightiest lever known to the moral world, Imagination –
William Wordsworth Imagination is more important than knowledge.
For knowledge is limited, whereas
imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress,
giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor
in scientific research. – Albert Einstein
To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.
–Thomas Edison Anyone who stops learning is old, whether twenty of
eighty. Anyone who keeps
learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your
mind young. –Henry Ford
I failed my way to success. - Thomas Edison I’m convinced that
about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from
the
non-successful ones is pure perseverance. –Steve Jobs The
empires of the future will be empires of the mind. –Winston
Churchill You can’t just ask customers what they want and then try
to give that to them. By the
time you get it built, they’ll want something new. –Steve Jobs
Any science and technology which is sufficiently advanced is
indistinguishable from
magic. --Arthur C. Clarke Innovation is the specific instrument
of entrepreneurship. The act that endows resources
with a new capacity to create wealth. --Peter Drucker Without
change there is no innovation, creativity, or incentive for
improvement. Those
who initiate change will have a better opportunity to manage the
change that is inevitable. William Pollard
Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next.
--Jonas Salk If you have always done it that way, it is probably
wrong. --Charles Kettering If you can dream it, you can do it.
--Walt Disney If you lose the power to laugh, you lose the power to
think. --Clarence Darrow Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple
and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon
you have a dozen. --John Steinbeck Swipe from the best, then
adapt. –Tom Peters Never confuse motion with action. --Ernest
Hemingway Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do
and they will surprise you with
their ingenuity. --George Patton A problem well stated is a
problem half solved. --Charles Kettering No idea is so outlandish
that it should not be considered. --Winston Churchill If I have a
thousand ideas and only one turns out to be good, I am satisfied.
--Alfred
Noble I can accept failure. Everyone fails at something. But I
can’t accept not trying. –
Michael Jordan
